EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of The Strand in Torquay, Devon, England, as it looked in the roaring twenties of 1920. The image transports us to an era of elegance and sophistication, as horse-drawn coaches line the picturesque seafront promenade. The ornate clock tower, a prominent landmark of the town, stands tall in the background, its clock hands frozen in time. Torquay, a popular seaside resort town, was a favorite destination for the British elite during the early 20th century. The Strand, with its beautiful gardens, sandy beaches, and stunning views of the English Channel, was the heart of the town's social scene. The horse-drawn coaches, a common mode of transportation during this period, add to the historical charm of the scene. The passengers, dressed in their finest attire, seem to be enjoying a leisurely day out, taking in the fresh sea air and picturesque views. The photograph is a testament to the rich history and heritage of Torquay and Devon. It invites us to imagine the stories of the people in the photograph, their lives, and the memories they made on this very spot. The clock tower, a symbol of time and tradition, stands as a reminder of the passing of the years and the enduring allure of this beautiful coastal town. This photograph, taken in 1920, is a treasure trove of historical detail and a glimpse into the past. It is a must-have for anyone with an interest in English history, Torquay's heritage, or simply for those who appreciate the beauty of a bygone era.
